The Stoned Hacker

Who could’ve known that community resources actually benefitted the community? What a radical and crazy idea it would never work

Ah it’s fine my boss told me that interacting with the AI is enough and that he doesnt care if I’m just asking it the weather. It’s a large publicly traded company and the AI push is coming from a lot higher up the change so sadly theres not much i could do to affect the situation.

It’s not cannibalism; billionaires don’t have enough empathy to be considered human

This was a fascinating read. As someone with a strong disdain for European ideals (love the socialism, hate how they got there) I was ready to raise my pitchfork at fhe start but this… this makes sense. Europeans have a scarcity mindset and when they came to places that didnt need that as much they turned into the seagulls from finding nemo. And as a result they decimated my people and millions of other peoples across the globe like mine who seemed to have shit better figured out socially.

I’m required to use LLMs for work (we have metrics and I’ve been told I should use AI daily) and while every once in a while they are useful (i.e. getting examples for stuff that has inadequate documentation) 99% of the time they just piss me off. The output and results are seldom what I want and rather than spend the time to direct it to do what I want I’d often rather just do the work myself. Furthermore when my coworkers send me PRs that are obviously AI the code quality is pretty shit and usually doesnt actually accomplish what we need in a way that makes sense. As someone who has invested a lot of time in improving my coding ability and knowledge I see AI code and it makes me whince.

violet you are an inspiration to divas everywhere i love you

and so what? if you’re hot and feel comfortable showing off how hot you are what does that change? it certainly doesn’t entitle anyone to your body, nor does it say anything about your character other than, “I’m hot and i know it”. It’s not a moral nor a social failure to be confident and happy in your body, and if you have a problem with the personal expression of others that does nothing to infringe upon the rights or expression of anyone else then you are the problem, not the person enjoying their life.

Veritasium got bought by venture capital a while ago. They can still be informative and decent but they feel so hollow now I can’t usually stand to watch them.

yeah thats not gonna fly. you’re gon a have to prove a history of drug abuse and mental illness for that to disqualify you, and for being transgender to disqualify you you have to have already started medically transitioning

He was severely mentally ill and homeless by the end of his life, iirc doing youtube interviews for a big mac. He was a brilliant person who was failed by society and while i definitely don’t condone his actions or rhetoric, its my understanding that he wasn’t a bigot before his mental health declined. Im sure he had his biases that led to his bigotry later on, but that could be said about almost anyone.

and probably more fun

yeah i watched this show as kid with my dad and we both enjoyed it a lot (and i idolized Barney, although mostly his suits) but looking back theres so much sexual coercion and blatant lying for sex that idk if i could stomach the show nowadays
